Red Sea is a semi-enclosed tropical body of water. It has
been considered to be a relatively unpolluted marine environment.
In the last few decades, however, evidence of heavy
metal pollution has been found in various locations [12]. In the
northern part of the Egyptian Red Sea, increasing population
growth and industrial activities in Suez City are the main
sources of heavy metal pollution. While in the southern part,
the tourism industry and shipping of ores are the major
sources of the anthropogenic input of heavy metals.
